The natural world is full of this self balancing spiralling force: galaxies, solar systems, planetary motions, weather systems, whirlpools, circulatory systems, the distribution of leaves in plant growth.
Its our human categorizing that creates the boundaries between this and that, when in reality the whole thing is a single but multi-faceted process. If we begin to view the Earth as a single system like the extreme of the Gaia Hypothesis, then why stop there? Surely it'd be better to lump the whole Universe into the pot labelled "Life" and have done with it.
As for speaking with the wind; well it'd be nice, but its highly unlikely since most levels/layers of this process seem unaware of the life within the other levels/layers. Lets stick with understanding the other Earth animals before we go off translating the breeze kk?

The hurricane case is sited in this article

I just quote it.
I think science steps onward in accelerated mode and within 1-2 years we will get tremendous results, besides some closed paper will get published after transformation.

I agree that the reality is a multi-faceted process.
If we consider Gaia Hypothesis seriously then we will not stop at all, we will go further and further. And ... we will come to Brain Meta.

"seem unaware" but not 'are unaware', you see

Lets study everything.
